I am talking about the danger from mixing medication with alcohol. This is about your health and wellness. Mixing alcohol with certain medications can not only cause nausea and vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, fainting, loss of coordination but can end up in death. Mixing them is probably the deadly combination.
As a general rule, alcohol should not be used in combination with any other drug, prescribed or not. Alcohol on its own has some effects on health and, used in combination with any of the drugs you are taking, could increase the possible side effects of the medication.
Mot prescription medications, even some medicines that you purchased over-the-counter and even some herbal remedies can have harmful effects when combined with alcohol. Keep in mind that any pain medication can have a deadly interaction with alcohol.
It's really important to be aware of the side effects and risks of all drugs, including prescription medication that you are taking. You can be on the safe side by avoiding alcohol if you are taking a medication and don’t know its effect. Your pharmacist or other health care provider can help you determine which medications interact harmfully with alcohol. Get this information ahead of time, so you can make proper decision. It makes sense to check it out ahead of time with a pharmacist.
If you are in any kind of medication, be wise even if you do a couple of social drinks. At the minimum, medication plus alcohol can cause damage to your liver. The worst scenario is death.
If you think you have an addiction to alcohol, talk to your doctor about whether you need to withdraw from alcohol under medical supervision. With a doctor's help, withdrawal from alcohol is safer.
The danger in blending these deadly things is real.
